Integrating Security Scanners into CI/CD DevSecOps Pipelines
Table of Contents
Shifting Security Left in Software Development
Discovering security vulnerabilities right before production deployment causes costly code refactoring and project delays. DevSecOps embeds automated security testing into every git commit and pull request.
Core Automated Security Scanners for CI/CD
A resilient DevSecOps pipeline incorporates four automated checks: Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA for open-source library CVEs), Secret Detection (preventing AWS keys in commits), and Dynamic Scanning (DAST).
Setting Quality Gates and Developer Remediation
Automated CI/CD quality gates block pull requests that contain critical security vulnerabilities, delivering instant inline code remediation feedback to developers directly inside pull request comments.
